The 2016 Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will be held Saturday, May 28 2016, at 2:45 EST. The game will be played in A.C. Milan’s stadium, the San Siro in Milan, and is a rematch of the 2014 final, which Real won 4-1. This will be the 60th Champions League Final. Real Madrid will be playing for their world-leading 11th title, while Atletico Madrid is competing for it’s first Champion’s League title.
While Real Madrid is no stranger to the Champion’s League Final, this will only be Atletico Madrid’s fourth final. With powerhouses like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Manchester City all having amazing seasons, Atletico Madrid was not a popular pick to make it to the final. Atletico Madrid had to upset both Barcelona in the quarter-final, and Bayern Munich in the semi-finals to reach this point. Real Madrid had a much easier road to the final, defeating Wolfsburg and Manchester City.
This match-up is an interesting one, given the contrasting styles. While Real Madrid is known for their flair, style, and goal scoring prowess, Atletico Madrid is known for their hustle, grit, and defensive ability. With Ronaldo entering the tail end of his prime, and rumors about him leaving Real Madrid swirling, this could be Real Madrid’s last shot to win a title with Ronaldo as the face of the franchise.
